The republican version of Nancy Pelosi is literally my favorite politician.
Unfortunately our reality is a republican version of Nancy Pelosi... Just not in that way
We were delayed an hour because someone in the voting area had a "medical emergency," but when I was finally handed a ballot, its number was > 1500.

What I just find so.... Disheartening, is that, without Covid, Trump would be campaigning (even more) on his great economy, and he'd probably fairly easily have won. He literally did the worst job in the world with his Corona response, and even so it's not an open-and-shut case. It bloody well should be.
And at least 40% of the population of the Land of the Free will have voted for a party whose bullet point goals and mission would partly fit right in with that of the nazi party, and the rest of it would be too far to the right to be acceptable to the nazis.
I'm not even exactly left, and the US republican party in its modern day variety is a horror.
Sorry for the brief sidebar, i just wanted to post this really quick just because it’s awesome and astonishing. A week or so ago i posted a link to a free e-book on how to speak to Trump supporters by an author named Shea Serrano. Some of you guys read it and played along but for those who didnt, it was basically 64 pages that just said some variation of “fuck you” on it. Well anyway, even though he advertised it as free and never asked for a cent, the website allowed you to pay something for it anyway. And some people did - a lot of people did. I’ll let Shea tell the rest:
Combination of bold racists, single issue republican voters (abortion/guns) that would rather the nation die than be run by democrats, and people brainwashed by Fox News and other propaganda networks that just aren't aware of the truth.
Oh, also forgot to mention the statistics I compiled while idly waiting:
- ~40-50 in line
- 1 in 5 not wearing any sort of face covering
- 1 “Trump 2020” baseball cap
- 2 “Thin Blue Line” caps/masks
- 2 drive-bys of people yelling “Vote Trump!” from their noisy, banner-festooned vehicles
This reminded me, a few weeks ago I saw a massive pickup truck with a huge flag coming out the back. Only thing is, it was a Biden flag. Talk about a juxtaposition of message and medium.
... Are these real?
I mean, it's the same thing with people who talk about how Obama was such a progressive president, when really, they just mean he was black.
(Yes, Obamacare, but even that was not very progressive outside of this country)
They are but...you know, take exit polls for what you will
I feel like I would lose MORE faith in Americans if that were the case. For now it's just the POS outdated electoral college that got him in there in the first place.
Holy shit.

Funny [ fuhn-ee ] : warranting suspicion; deceitful; underhanded:
Yes, it would be very funny if Trump won the popular vote.
I did my part for that.
More importantly looks like we are going to flip the Senate seat.
It's already Called for cornyn
